"As a long time Rega dealer, we have never been much of a fan
of the ubiquitous felt turntable mat that comes with the well
known Rega Planar series turntables. Herbie's Way Excellent
Turntable Mat at $44.95 beats the pants off the Ringmat, felt
mats and other mats. Finally! We have a well designed mat that is reasonably priced."
Wayne Waananen, The BOLDER Cable Company
"I have one on my MMF-5. It is quite a bit better than the stock felt. No problem
changing albums while the platter is still turning.
"I brought one over to a buddie's place to compare to his Non-felt. The Herbie's had
quite a bit tighter and extended bass. Surface noise was even reduced. Highly
recommended." (Posted at Audio Asylum on 7/9/03)

"I am very pleased."
Terry Phipps, Lemon Grove, California
"The mat is GREAT! Like many, I stuck with the felt mat because other mats make you
give up some of the lovely sound or liveliness we buy Linns for, to get a measure of
clarity (this is also true of many very expensive upgrades). Your mat has no downside
I can hear. Basically, it allows better control across the spectrum -- clearly, evenly and
beautifully. My Linn sounds like a better Linn, that's all!"
Robert Herman, Lyric HiFi
"I'm using them on my customized SP-10 MK II, which was using an Oracle hard mat
and Goldmund clamp; and my STD 305D. Being in the high-end audio biz for 25 years
I've seen lots of accessories come and go. This is easily the best mat I've used, much
better than the Ringmat (which we sell), or the Oracle hard mat. It definitely sounds
best without the clamp. Thanks much!"
Mark Kirby, Baltimore, Maryland
"The turntable mat made a remarkable improvement: a far more coherent presentation
, flowing and alive. I must say Rosemary Clooney sounded like she'd risen from the
dead to sing those Harold Arlen songs.
"Before I installed the mat, I considered my SACD player (Sony NS500V) my best
source. Now I figure the old AR turntable is. Right off, I had the feeling that I wanted
to drag out stuff I hadn't listened to in a long time."
John Zimmerman, The Audio Connection
"That mat is AWESOME!"
Alan Olan, Sidney, Australia
"Just installed the turntable mat on my Kuzma Stabi. I just expected the sound to be
different as I thought the sound was great as it was. Like the cd mat I noticed the
difference straight away. The sound became clearer, the voices became more focused
and there was more depth and ambiance. There was more clarity to the sound.
Anyway I now prefer having the mat on my Kuzma Stabi. I think it's a cheap upgrade well worth it."
David Hall, Alpharetta, Georgia
"Well, the new Way Excellent turntable mat sounds terrific! The music is really very,
very close to sounding like the real event. I think in my case it's the synergy between
good components -- making the whole picture complete. I've gone nuts trying
different cables, phono stages -- and yes -- turntable mats. Thanks for the HAL-O's,
Way Excellent turntable mat and Isolation feet -- they are essential ingredients to my
current setup. It's nice to be able to sit back and just enjoy the music for a change
without the need to upgrade anything else. The mat also stays in place when changing albums."

"Nice product."
Mark Gilbert, Lynnwood, Washington
"That turntable mat is some kind of (expletive) incredible. On my Thorens, it blows
away the Ringmat."
Ernesto Silva, Fort Worth, Texas
"It works good."
Robert Wellington, Albuquerque, New Mexico
"My system has all the upgrades -- power cables and conditioner, interconnects,
Symposium platform. I thought the Linn turntable sounded as good as it was ever
going to get, which was pretty damn good by the way. But I was still using the original
felt mat that came with it. I didn't really think that upgrading the mat would make any
difference, or not much anyway. Boy, was I wrong! Upgrading to Herbie's Excellent
Turntable Mat made a more pronounced improvement than any other single upgrade. I
can't really explain it, but the music just sounds more like real music now.
Ad van Rooij, 'S-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
"I am very impressed about the TT mat, it's super. My records are as reborn. There is
more/better bass, more details, more placed instruments. It's easier to listen.
Somewhat more 3d and the music is more left and right outside the speakers."
Marty Thomas, Modesto, California
"This is much better than any other turntable mat I've ever used. It's more full-bodied
than the cork Ringmat and doesn't dull the low end like the Non-Felt does. I've tried
other mats too, over the years, and this one is definitely the best."
